T. Laskar, A. Zauderer, and E. Berger (Harvard) report:

"We observed the position of GRB 140515A (D'Avanzo et al; GCN 16267) at
multiple frequencies with the VLA beginning 2014 May 16.00 UT (0.62 days
after the burst). At a mean frequency of 21.8 GHz, we detect a radio source
with a preliminary flux density of ~ 0.1 mJy at

RA = 12:24:15.5055 +/- 0.0005
Dec = +15:06:16.609 +/- 0.005

consistent with the enhanced Swft/XRT position (D'Avanzo et al.; GCN 16277)
and the optical position (Fong et al.; GCN 16274). Follow-up observations
are planned."
